Why Men Hate Going To Church, by David Murrow, explains why men are important to the church, what is driving men away from the church and most importantly, real steps that can be taken immediately to draw men back to the church. This book doesn’t waste time laying blame or offering guilt trips. It doesn’t cough up simplistic answers like, “real men go to church.” It does provide simple truths about what real men are really like and practical ways to connect with men in a church environment.

This book is at the top of the list of books I wish I had read before I became a pastor ten years ago. So many pastors are wrestling with issues relating to how to attract men to and engage men in the church. Underneath those questions are some assumptions that are rarely questioned, just accepted as fact. “Why Men Hate Going To Church” challenged and destroyed many of my assumptions about men’s ministry and replaced them with answers that have been proven in real ministry environments. If you are a pastor or church leader this book is absolutely essential reading.
